The Hundred-Year House - Rebecca Makkai

Aug 5, 2014 8:45 AM

Though the book is definitely spooky, don't expect Rebecca Makkai's The Hundred-Year House ($21) to be anything like you'd find on the horror shelves. Rather than being bloodily slaughtered, the characters living in the potentially haunted manor try to uncover the family secrets that transpired inside the estate in generations past, which is ultimately more fun anyway. With layers and layers of intrigue, you'll be racing to solve the mysterious history of the home before the characters themselves.
